The Portfolio Tracker offers a number of new features we hope you will like, such as the ability to link directly to your 401(K), IRA, broker or advisor accounts; portfolio analysis, including tips about under performing stocks and funds and excessive fees; and charts comparing your portfolio’s performance with your peers and market indexes. Despite the added features, the Portfolio Tracker is still free!

USA TODAY’s newspaper was redesigned in order to provide our readers with a fresh,
more modern look to the newspaper. The updated design provides for a sleeker, more
visual read of the news of the day. It has a contemporary look and feel, providing
the most unique and useful content for our audience. We truly feel the redesign
reinvigorates our newspaper and enhances the content that will make our readers
favorite features, like the States page and Weather page, even more inviting.

The new America’s Markets page in the newspaper provides readers with an
understanding of how America is trading, not how institutional investors are
trading. This page was added to replace the previous stock listings because USA
TODAY wants to paint a picture of everyday Americans as retail investors. The
America’s Markets page provides a clear picture of investment choices, of the
biggest stock movers, and what to watch – not just the major indices. We like to
think it delivers Wall Street to “Main Street” – everyday Americans.
The America’s Markets page replaces the stock listings in the newspaper, but not our
commitment to bringing readers the latest market information. For the latest stock
prices, you can go to USATODAY.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The “Across the USA” page, our state-by-state look at the news, has been
enhanced and now even includes color and graphic elements.

The Editorial and Forum pages now include more space for our readers to
share their comments and concerns. This provides us with even more room to
host the American conversation every day.

More fantasy sports coverage. We’ve created a destination within USA TODAY’s
newspaper and online for fantasy sports enthusiasts what will provide
readers with an essential resource and a competitive advantage in their
fantasy sports league.

Yes! To make the paper easier to read, we made changes to the font. The new font is
especially designed for newspapers and has undergone rigorous testing for
legibility. Simply put, it’s cleaner. It is the same size as the previous font, but
is less condensed and therefore easier to read.

The paper’s dimensions are exactly the same, but we have made the print area
slightly larger which means the margins around the page are smaller, sometimes
leading to the illusion that the paper is smaller.

Yes! We have increased the amount of color pages from an average of 13 to an average
of 24 pages a day. The colors have been made a little brighter and bolder too and
the overall print quality has been improved by increasing from 80 lines-per-inch to
100 lines-per-inch which means photographs print with higher resolution and
increased clarity.
